The Biscuits We Eat.
HOW THEY DIFFER FROM THOSE IN OUR GRANDNOTH-
Frs DAYS.


Frs DAYS.
The Chicago Herald says: The modern biscuit
mas very many more shapes and forms than did
the biscuit OF our grandmother's days. Then the
only thing thought to be entitled to the hallowed
name OF biscuit was sort Of plain light cake,
made OF flour, cream and soda, that was whole
some and took the place of bread for the morning
or evening meal These light, haky, grandmother
biscuits were generally served hot, with fresh
yellow butter and honey or maple strip, and
person who did not relish such q meal was pro-
nounced sick or In possession Of an unapprecattve
appetite. In modern cookery there Is variety OF
biscuits. host OF different shaped cakes and
crackers are now called biscuits. The CAKES are
sweet, as are also some varieties of crack
e eas., which g 60 under that name. The grand
mother biscuit was designed to be eaten
not, but the modern biscuit Is made with a
view 70 last Tor weeks, and not consumed until
cold. There are number or biscuit factories in
chicago that do large business in their line,
shipping their goods to all parts OF the country
Ihey are made In different shapeS-sQuare, round
or scolloped-and one grade is cut to represent
various animals There are also the brown flour
biscuits and the oatmeal cakes, ginger snaps and
cracknells all going under the general head of
biscuits. These bakeries occupy extensive build
lngS employ hundreds Of hands, and in fact con.
sttute one OF the prominent Industries OF the CITY
Inc goods are put up in small square boxes or cans
with glass window in one side, through which
the variety OF contents can be seen. The boxes
are returned to the factory after the contents are
disposed OF. There Is probably no city in the
united states that does as extensive business in
the manufacture OF biscuits as Chicago TO the
credit OF our manufactures 1t can be said that
chicago biscuits are a very popular brand in the
general MARKET

With deep regret we announce that
Charles s. Ticknor, student of Buchtel
College in 1873, was killed at Castano,
Mexico, Jan. T. He was employed as tel
egraph operator by company building
a new railroad, and was with the con-
struction train. In attempting to pass
from one car to another, he fell under the
wheels. The deceased was twenty-seven
years old, and his parents live at Con-
MEANWHILE, Pa. He was an exemplary
young man.
Miss Clara Barton, our well known
Universalist "Lady of Mercy" President
of the Red Gross Society, has just returned
from Texas. She reports that the people
are suffering but not starving. No rain
has fallen for eighteen months, and two
planted crops have persisted. Miss Bar
ton believes President Cleveland was
right in Vetoing the $4,000 appropriation
OF seed, and thinks that if his suggestion
that Congressman donate their grant of
seed is fayorably entertained, the object
sought to be reached will be more than
accomplished.
The Boston Journal, of one day last
week, brought tidings which will cause
unfeigned sorrow, especially in Minneso-
ia and in Springfield and in other places
in this State: Rev. Josiah Marvin, for
merly pastor of the Universalist church
at Nashua, N. H., and recently living at
st. Paul, Mimi, is an inmate Of the In
sane asylum at Brattleboro, vt Mr..
Marvin is prominent Odd Fellow, and
took part in the last meeting of the Grand
Lodge in Boston, being a delegate from
Minnesota. Grief on the death of his
wife is thought to be the cause Of his
mental condition"
